In the seventh year of Yongning, spring.
Shen Zhaoyi, who is favored by the Sixth Palace, does not know that she only has one month left to live.
She is the former empress's substitute, the emperor's pawn to check and balance the harem, and the stumbling block that must be removed in the eyes of the concubine Shu.
Historically, she would be given Bai Ling on March 17 due to the "witchcraft case", and the entire female family members would be banished to Yeting.
But that night, Shen Yuan, a forensic doctor from a thousand years later, opened her eyes inside her body.
She is calm, rational and accustomed to letting the evidence speak for itself.
She discovered that she was being slowly poisoned, and personally tested the arsenic in the rouge;
She watched Concubine Shu kill three low-ranking concubines one after another, and saw through the "disguised suicide" from the marks of strangulation and blood stains;
When the needle-pricked doll was buried in her secret room in advance, she only looked at the dust distribution and the broken cobwebs, and beat the framer into silence with her backhand.
Emperor Gu Yan was suspicious and unkind, and at first only treated her as a pawn.
But he soon discovered that this Shen Zhaoyi was different - she would not cry, make trouble, or beg for mercy, and would only hand over an irrefutable autopsy report.
Concubine Shu's knife, the Queen Mother's game, the centuries-old harem rule of eating people and not spitting out their bones...
Shen Yuan took them apart one by one, not with grace or tears, but with knowledge.
But what she wanted was never the queen's phoenix crown.
She wants everyone in this red wall to remember——
You can trap my body, but you can't trap my mind

This is an effective innovation in the palace battle genre. It combines the rationality of forensic reasoning with the cruelty of harem conspiracy, creating a heroine who does not rely on love or aura, but only relies on her brains to survive until the end. Its portrayal of the supporting characters, its design of Machiavellian logic, and its restrained handling of emotional lines all show a writing level that goes beyond ordinary web articles.
If you are tired of the routine of "Palace fighting is just about women quarreling", if you want to see a heroine who really relies on her brains to make a living, if you like the rhythm of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and the reasoning quality of "The Collection of Abandoned Wrongs", this book is worth reading.
